“The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.”

“Let us draw a lesson from nature, which always works by short ways. When the fruit is ripe, it falls.”

“Just because an apple falls one hundred times out of a hundred does not mean it will fall on the hundred and first.”

“The Purest kind of love is neither chemistry science nor like Newton's theory. Whoever falls on you like an apple and you fall in love with someone, no one knows when and how pure love comes in your life. Pure love comes in your life as a golden feeling and makes your life beautiful.”

“For all these things have been illegal, as illegal as the Revolution, as the fall of the Monarchy and of the Bastille, as illegal as liberty itself... Citizens, did you want a revolution without a revolution?”

“A ripe apple never toppled the tree.”

“God gives us love. Something to love
He lends us; but when love is grown
To ripeness, that on which it throve
Falls off, and love is left alone.”

“You complain that I have committed illegal acts. Of course I have. We all have. The Revolution is illegal. The fall of the Bastille was illegal. The formation of this republic was illegal, as illegal as liberty itself. Citizens, did you want a revolution without a revolution?”

“Home is the place that'll catch you when you fall. And we all fall.”

“Leaves grow green to fall,
Flowers grow fair to fade,
Fruits grow ripe to rot —
All but for passing made.”
